Personal statement
I like to study pharmacy because I want to give medical care to the general public. Although through high school, I have had a deep interest in the sciences, I have always had a great passion, especially for Chemistry and biology. This is because I was good at these subjects. Learning how is a medicine made also how are Drug interaction in the body and its treatment.
I think that the presence of a sister in the same specialty is the most significant motive and motivation for me, and my sufficient knowledge of the pharmacy specialty before I entered because of my sister. I like how pharmacy is connected in all our lives and how Pharmacists are an essential component of every community and play an essential role in helping patients feel better., So I found pharmacy a specialty because it allows me to continue learning about What I'm interested in.
I graduated from high school with a GPA of 99.56 and also from the top ten. In addition, I passed the orientation year with a GPA of 5/5. One of my wishes is to continue at this level of success in my next years and graduate with a GPA of 4.8+ with first-class honors.
My strength to be a well-organized person is one of my most significant assets at work. I usually write out everything I have to do and prioritize it from most important to least important.
This allows me to better plan and completes my job, as well as meet critical deadlines. Self-assured, creative, innovative, communicative, work-loyal, diligent, and with a friendly demeanor
I aspire to have effective Participation in the community through the Pharmacy Club and the Social-Cultural Club at the college and Participation in conferences related to pharmacists such as SSCP. One of my plans in the future is to complete the residency in the field of oncology because I am curious about this field, and I would like to invent something that relieves the pain of cancer patients, even with something simple. I hope to find a cure for Alzheimer's in the future. One of my dreams in the future is to work in the Food and Drug Authority and to become an influential person in society
I am excited to become a pharmacist and believe this PharmD program at KSU is the best choice for me. I am excited about the idea of helping effectively and safely with pharmaceutical drugs! I think I have diverse skills that will serve me very well during my university career. As a pharmacy student, I am aware that the next stage in my education will be difficult, so I am excited to begin the next phase of my education.
I'm adamant about achieving my final goal, so I'd like to take on the obstacles of university life head-on
One of the most impactful parts of this term was learning about cancer in the “Pathophysiology, Pharmacology, and Therapeutics” course. We explored different types of cancers, their disease mechanisms, and the therapeutic options available for treatment. Understanding how these treatments work at the physiological and pharmacological level gave me a deeper appreciation for the complexity of cancer care and the pharmacist’s critical role in supporting patients through it.
At the same time, studying pharmacy management and marketing helped me see the pharmacy profession from a broader perspective. I learned how essential leadership, communication, and strategic planning are to running a successful pharmacy and delivering high-quality care. These skills are just as important as clinical knowledge, especially in today’s healthcare environment.
Together, these courses have made me more confident in my ability to think critically, make informed decisions, and approach pharmacy as both a science and a service. I’m excited for what lies ahead and feel more prepared to contribute meaningfully to patient care and the pharmacy profession.

Level 9 was a period of academic development and increased responsibility. The courses in this level provided a deeper understanding of various key areas in pharmacy practice, blending theoretical knowledge with practical application.
The course “Pharmaceutical Nutritional Supplements” offered valuable insights into the role of supplements in patient care. It emphasized evaluating their safety, efficacy, and appropriate use, which contributed to a more holistic approach to treatment.
“Quality Assurance and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)” provided an in-depth understanding of pharmaceutical manufacturing standards and the importance of quality control in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of drug products.
Toxicology was a challenging but essential subject. It enhanced my knowledge of the mechanisms and management of toxicity, and strengthened my ability to evaluate and respond to poisoning cases in clinical settings.
In Pharmacoeconomics, I developed a clearer understanding of how economic principles apply to healthcare. It trained me to assess the cost-effectiveness of therapies and to make value-based decisions in pharmacy practice.
Pathophysiology and Pharmacotherapy 9 built upon my clinical foundation, encouraging more critical thinking and therapeutic decision-making. It was academically demanding but significantly improved my clinical reasoning.
Finally, Pharmacy Simulation Lab (5) was a highly valuable experience. It provided opportunities to apply clinical knowledge in simulated real-life scenarios, enhancing my communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and professional confidence.
Overall, Level 9 was intellectually demanding but greatly rewarding. Each course played a distinct role in preparing me for more advanced levels of clinical and professional practice.
Level 7 was a time of significant personal growth and meaningful transformation in my personality. I particularly enjoyed Social Pharmacy—it was engaging and thought-provoking.
PDAT 4, which focused on psychiatry, was truly eye-opening. It challenged many of my previous misconceptions about psychiatric patients, most of which were shaped by media portrayals.
Although PDAT 5, covering infectious diseases, didn’t completely capture my interest, I found the lectures on Therapeutic HIV and Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (URTI) especially informative and memorable.
PSL 3 played a major role in enhancing my clinical judgment. It equipped me with the skills to identify appropriate interventions for various cases—an incredibly valuable experience.
On the other hand, I strongly disliked Pharmacognosy and Pharmacokinetics, and I’m honestly relieved to have completed them.
Through studying epidemiology, I developed a keen interest in research methods and their applications in pharmacy practice. I learned about the various study designs, how to formulate research questions, and the types of questions pharmacists typically answer. This knowledge has helped me appreciate epidemiology's role in advancing the field of pharmacy and improving patient care. Moreover, I am proud that I can now read research articles with greater ease and comprehension, an essential skill for any healthcare professional.
One of my favorite aspects of level 9 was studying neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. I have always been fascinated by the pathology of Alzheimer's disease, and I chose to present my findings on the topic. This experience gave me a deeper understanding of the disease mechanisms and the current treatment options.
I am grateful to King Saud University's pharmacy school for this exceptional opportunity to learn and grow. The level 9 curriculum challenged me to think critically and develop my problem-solving skills, essential attributes for a successful career in pharmacy. I am excited to continue my journey in pharmacy and make meaningful contributions to the field
This level was great from a psychological perspective—I felt much more comfortable compared to the previous one. The PEDAT topics were fun and engaging, which made studying more enjoyable.
The Pharmacokinetics lab was definitely the highlight of this level; it was straightforward and easy to follow. Additionally, the Community Pharmacy lab was fascinating—it truly made me feel like a real pharmacist. We were analyzing prescriptions to ensure they were appropriate for the patient in terms of dosage, drug interactions, contraindications, and legality.
This level was quite complicated and exhausting due to the PEDAT course, the overwhelming amount of material, and the poor quality of the doctors’ explanations. As a result, I was forced to hire a private tutor to understand the curriculum properly
Additionally, in the PPL subject, the grade distribution was very unfair, and again, the explanations from the doctors were inadequate. On top of that, the PPL lab sessions end at 5 PM, which leaves little to no time for studying afterward
I sincerely hope that things will improve in the upcoming level
